Thanks for your note! Yes, there are many pain medication options I am realizing
but when it comes to the pain of bone cancer - at some point none seem to be strong enough. It just breaks my heart. I have not been able to try the ketamine for my dog but am working on it!

Perhaps buprenorphine too? Dogs use different NSAIDs than people sometimes.
For humans for RSD and neuropathy pain control these ingredients may be in a mixture:
clonidine -- affects nerve transmission
amitriptyline-- may help nerve restoration from damage
gabapentin-- blocks pain signals
ketamine-- anesthetic
lidocaine-- numbing agent
diclofenac (an NSAID)
Your vet would be your best resource. He/she can write an RX or call the compounding pharmacy.
